Manchester United duo Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford visited Manchester’s Children hospital to put a smile on faces of those injured in the Manchester Arena attacks.
Twenty two people were killed in the explosion at the Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena two weeks ago and more than 120 others were injured, many of whom were young children.
Since the attack, the Queen and Grande have visited the injured at the hospital and Lingard and Rashford were the latest to show their support.
